More than 15,000 reports have been submitted to date.</p><p>Last December, the College of Policing published new guidance for police showing what they can do when they receive a report of public sexual harassment, including the criminal offences available and other protective tools which can be used. Furthermore, the Home Office launched the ‘Enough’ communications campaign in March, which challenges public attitudes and tolerance towards crimes such as public sexual harassment and aims to ensure victims know how and where to report it.</p> answering member constituency Redditch answering member printed Rachel Maclean question first answered 19/05/2022 12:05:31 answering member 4668 label Biography information for Rachel Maclean

In March 2022, we addressed questions about the review at a webinar attended by 200 parents and carers of children and young people with SEND. Earlier this month, the department hosted a meeting of 14 SEND charities convened by the Council for Disabled Children. These charities include representation of children and young people, and their parents.</p><p>The department recognises that the significant set of proposals outlined in the green paper need to be subject to a full public consultation. For this reason, over 120 consultation events have been arranged, allowing direct engagement with a broad range of people, including children, young people, and their families. The department is committed to ensuring everyone has an opportunity to take part in the consultation and we encourage everyone to do so.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Colchester answering member printed Will Quince question first answered 18/05/2022 15:46:23 answering member 4423 label Biography information for Will Quince
